And all through the little clearing, a slight wind begins to blow, warm like a summer breeze.

I gasp a little at the same moment that Luca does, and our eyes flash to each other as we both simultaneously remember the sensation that we used to notice when he touched me – that tingle across my skin, and across his – that tingle that’s still there, but which we just…I don’t know, got used to or something.

That tingle which I never, ever realized feels exactly like a breeze blowing across bare skin.

Feels exactly, precisely like this air moving around us right now.

“Holy shit,” Luca whispers, staring down at me in shock.

My face bursts into a smile and I beam up at him. “Holy shit is right.”

Luca can’t help it then, his own face breaks into a smile and he shakes his head in awe as he stares down at me.
